Hi all
Well i have to say soemthing to all those who about a month or so ago were all having debates on DC vs PS2 and what do you know my predictions were dead on again, PS2 rules, DC is finished no more units being made, i did get soemthing wrong thoe i thought DC would last about anouther year..
-
yea the death of the DC is a shame, i thought it had another year at least left in it
but sega is an open welcome into the deveopling market, well at least from the consumers - not so much for the competition though
yep another sega system gone bad - too bad
-
ignorance is bliss, huh guys?
-
yah, what mm said.
-
hahahaha fools! DC is not dead. Do I play it every night? Yes. Do they stil sell the systems nationwide? Yes. Do they still make the systems? Yes. Only until the last of March though. But they have over a million and a half to sell to the end of the year. Are they still making games for it? Yes. 30 from Sega alone. Will DC have it\'s best year ever this year? Sadly, Yes. Shenmue 2, MSR, VT2, CT2, Skies or Arcadia 2, Daytona Online, SA2, etc! and no one will notice because of ignorant people who think it is already dead and, well duh PS2 is better. People who choose not to inform themselves or play the games.
fools.
Ginko, why the Junior status? hahaha :-)

If Sega was so proud of their console then why are they turning their backs on their own system? I mean they are quitting the console business to help others? If DC was really sucessful Sega would be making another system.
-
I don\'t know, but I\'ve emailed Bjorn twice. I\'ve asked Ddaryl but he doesn\'t care. No one can email mm. I wonder if Samwise, Soulgrind, or Aaron would help me out.
I want my pic back and my senior status.
-
That\'s Ginko, just because these are still temp forums. You can\'t get your pic back yet, as you have to wait ( like rest of the ppl in your situation ) until the main forums are back up again.
But, back to this subject. Is sega going to end manufacturing DC\'s soon? I didn\'t know :( that\'s quite sad.
I mean, DC is really good console and would deserve more. But this is reality, and reality is very much about showing off. DC never quite got the attention.
PSx2 took it all. Everyone was expecting PS2 to come out.
But sega isn\'t dead. Gladly.

the DC is not dead !
until people stop playing it or developers stop the games, then you could call it dead and not before that !.

"No one can email mm"
clyde checks my email every 30 minutes, or he doesnt eat.

right then i am going to send Clyde a bunch of emails and a big box of bananas via the power of the internet. i hope he eats them both and becomes very happy :D.

TheOne - Sega did not turn their backs on DC. They supported it and released some of the best games ever for it. Hindreds of games have ben released, but hype and marketing killed them. Not their fault, they did what they could, but to no avail. Sega did not turn their backs, they were turned on b the community jackasses like EA and Square who are too full of themselves to develop for Sega, because obviously it wil be a failure. what a gay self-flfilling prophecy.
They are stopping production at the end of the month, but will sell them throughout the year. games will still be sold until March at least.

Yea that\'s enough.. Dc isn\'t dead. It\'s resting.. :D
I don\'t care if dc dies or lives, I have my dc. I have plenty of games. My dc has and still is good enough for me to play for quite a few years. I have plenty of games. So i\'m set. :D
-
I saw DC for $99.99, I almost bought one, all games were on sale too, like 10% off or something. I can\'t wait til it gets lower, then I\'ll definatly buy it!
-
The DC looks just as good as PS2 if not, better in some games. Its racing library is fantastic and so is its fighters. I wasn\'t that much into fights til I played DOA2 on my demo disk. I idmeatly the next day went to Best Buy and picked it up. The graphics are totaly mind blowing. I saw the PS2 one, a bit better animations and brighter but still looks great.
Sega lost in the game due to it released its consoles at least 6 months priror (on raw estimate) to any Nintendo or Sony offerings. Instead of Sony releasing ground breaking, then Nintendo to follow, Sega released something, then Sony answered back strong, then Nintendo released something.
I still gotta give Sega a hellva lot of of credit, I love them over any gaming company since they make some of the best games and arcade games.

i dou bt i will buy a DC becuase i hope that they will bring out some device that will let you play them on your PS2 like they did with bleem - plus IMO i hate that god awful DC controller
dang my small hands - but i have a doubt about that ever coming out
-
Sorry. PS2 = Not powerful enough to emulate DC. "So many great games!! durrgghhh, maybe when it gets lower I will buy one, durrrggghhh, now I get to wait for my good games to come for PS2, good thing I bought one early thgough for no reason, durrrghh." you. people. make. me. sick.

The Dreamcast is the machine for the hardcore gamers that\'s why it isn\'t selling as well as it should.
Also Sega DID NOT turn their back on the DC they said they are stopping production because they are bankrupt and can\'t afford to make anymore, that\'s why they have gone multiplatform and have left the hardware side of things cause we all know it\'s the software that makes the big profits not the hardware. My DC isn\'t dead though it\'s biggest year is this year, so many AAA titles to be released after that though there isn\'t much of a future but with all the AAA titles I ain\'t complaining:D
Sega also gave us online gaming on a console right out of the box although it has it\'s problems it\'s still there. Quake 3, NFL2K1, PS online and many more great online games plus more coming out this year. Yet that still wasn\'t enough for people to go out and buy a Dreamcast.
Let me say this though if a games console as good as the Dreamcast can\'t even last more than 2 years because of low sales then there is something seriously wrong with people. Any body who considers themselves a gamer and doesn\'t own a Dreamcast are not real gamers just ignorant fanboys:rpissed:
shame on you America and Japan you guys got online gaming with broadband support and games like Quake3, UT, PS online and NFL2K1 and that wasn\'t enough for you to go out and purchase a DC SHAME ON YOU ALL! spare a thought for me in Australia because it wasn\'t selling well over in your countries we now will probably not see online gaming meaning we won\'t see any of the games that were online, games like NFL2K1 and Quake 3 arena and PS online don\'t even have release dates here:crying: *sniff* *sniff* lets hope the PS2 can deliver online gaming and great AAA titles or else all hell is gonna break loose:evil:

It all started WAY WAY back when they had 32-bit and mega cd, THey Both flopped, Sega always tryed to bring new stuff out first , like with Saturn which was way be4 the psx! saturn started badly with poorish games but where very GRapicly Advached then ! And Sega lost its respect from normal customers and people started buying psx when it came out, Saturn did have some cool game son it at the end, PAnzer Dragoon SAGA , Shinning force part 3 ! OWNED! But it was to late ! Sega\'s Image was All dirty and no one wanted to touch umm, So why did they CHnage there Image ! Coz they had to , Sega= Dreamcast ! changing the name was a good step ! When the normal jo saw sega he thought "crap saturn machine" Dreamcast was new and young, Looked good ! BUt Sega pLAnned IT! They had online stuff ready ! not at the start but soon on ! SLowly Sega HAs rebuilt its Image and Now is the leading Super COnsle Seller, OI DUmb foools! There cutting production next yr to save cash! they have Drawn UP a Contract for a smaller company to start reproducing them if sega countines to have this crip on the super consle market! DC IS NOT DEAD! ITS ALIVE AND BEATING PS2 EZ!!!!!!!! So wake up !I got ps2 for 300 squid which is pounds ! be4 my Dreamcast, I thought Dreamcast was good but not worth getting, Well i got one ! lol And my ps2 got packed away ! i never touched it since , That was 3 months ago, And i get all games out in EU coz i work for BlockBuster and they get all best games and staff get them free so i had them all out and there all pretty crap atm.
